BOX'NGO was a project we started to make selling online easier at our college campuses. It served as an ecommerce marketplace similar to eBay and at its peak featured over 7,000 active listings.

The project initially consisted of a tech stack that used the following:

LAMP stack running off Digital Ocean

CakePHP Framework

Redis for caching

ElasticSearch for search

A MongoDB Server for api calls

Scraper to get list of required books/texts from any college course at CUNY Schools

We've decided to move on to other projects at this time. To stay in touch, visit our Facebook page. Otherwise, check out our latest project which helps you find and share local deals around you called Peeko.
